When your liquefied shit is olive green, it’s called “dysentery.” If it’s a yellowish curry color, it’s “diarrhea.” Is there a special name for liquefied shit that retains its dark, chocolate-y color? You know, like if you have to take five Dulcolaxes the Friday before your barium imaging enema, or you drink non-bottled water in a third-world country? I don’t need the answer fast, I just always wondered if it had a name.
Loving it here in the Philippines, BTW. Until today.
The diagnoses ‘dysentery’ and ‘diarrhea’ do not depend on the color of the feces. The former represents intestinal inflammation concurrent with abdominal pain and loose, bloody, mucus filled stool. The latter is a description of stool consistency and frequency.
Stool color is more complex, and depends on a variety of things such as diet, transit time, liver and gall bladder function and others. Most alarming would be black, tarry stool, or dark mahogany stools, which generally represent digested blood.
Hershey Squirts is a slang term. don’t have time to give a longer answer, gotta go.
Ordinarily, shit is a non-Newtonian sheer-thinning fluid. The sheer-thinning properties allow it to easily pass through the sphincter when pressure is exerted from the abdomen.
I just thought I would add that to the discussion.
Your name alone adds to the discussion!
Somebody obviously didn’t get that wireless tablet they wanted for Christmas.
Did you drink tap water in the Phils because you forgot, or because you didn’t know you couldn’t?
I had been there enough times to know better when I accidentally swallowed a half mouthful while brushing my teeth, I was pretty terrified but I got lucky.
Before we get the more suggestible panicing, if you were drinking Guiness the night before and your craps black,then its more likely that its the stouts effect, not digested blood.
Apparently Pepto Bismal does this too, for many days after. I went to the ER last February thinking I had internal bleeding. Turns out it was the Pepto I had taken 4 days prior.
Ah yes the Guinness shits, I find red wine does something similar.
Iron supplements cause this too.
I was terrified the first time I got the Black Licorice Shits. It’s surprisingly neither black nor licorice-y.
Liquefied green shit is not an uncommon side effect of living in Thailand. Think I had some just in the past couple of weeks, but it’s probably not dysentery. Sometimes, shit just happens, know what I mean?
If it comes out silver colored, you’ve been drinking mercury. The quicksilver squirts.
I have made a note and will look up sheer-thinning. I may include this in the newsletter, if I ever write one.
In keeping with WarmNPrickly’s motif of adding helpful information, let me present the Bristol stool chart.
Enjoy! 
This thread has really hit bottom!!
being liquid i don’t think it hits as much as splatters.
I think that’s better than hitting the fan, anyway.
There was a thread on squirters recently. Maybe this one should be merged with it.
Oh, wait. That’s not the same thing, is it?
